(Submitted)

Sponsored by Manteo Healthcare Task Force, a presentation on Virtual Based Opioid Treatment (VBOT): Revolutionizing Opioid Use Disorder Care will be delivered at Manteo Town Hall on November 12, 2024, at 9 a.m.


BOT is a cutting-edge virtual care model designed to treat Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). By harnessing advanced technologies such as AI, telemedicine, and secure at-home medication dispensing, VBOT breaks down the traditional barriers to treatment, including geographic limitations, stigma, and financial constraints. This SAMHSA-compliant program is especially focused on serving underserved and rural communities, providing flexible, accessible, and comprehensive care.  

 

Key Features:

  • Advanced Technology: VBOT integrates AI-driven insights, telemedicine, and tamper-proof home medication dispensers to offer patients secure and reliable treatment options.

  • Comprehensive and Accessible Care: Patients can self-schedule appointments, maintain privacy, and continue working or managing family life, all while receiving evidence-based MAT.  

  • Collaborative Approach: VBOT’s team of MAT prescribers, behavioral health case managers, peer support specialists, and psychiatric consultants work together to support each patient’s recovery journey.  

  • SAMHSA-Compliant: VBOT adheres to federal guidelines for MAT, combining FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies.  

 

Who Should Attend:

  • Sheriffs: VBOT offers a vital treatment option for incarcerated individuals. Our virtual program can be accessed during incarceration, upon release, in early release programs, and jail diversion programs, helping to reduce recidivism and support long-term recovery.

  • County Commissioners: VBOT provides an excellent opportunity to invest opioid settlement funds into a cost-effective, high-quality treatment program. With comprehensive outcomes reporting, VBOT ensures transparency and accountability in how funds are used to combat the opioid crisis.

  • Hospital Emergency Departments and PORT Programs: VBOT has the capacity to immediately enroll patients at the time of discharge following an overdose, ensuring that those in critical need of care are connected to treatment without delay.

  • Residential Treatment and Detox Facilities: VBOT can serve as a step-down treatment option for OUD patients leaving residential or detox programs, providing continuity of care and reducing the risk of relapse.

  • Primary Care Providers: VBOT seeks to partner with community PCPs to ensure that patients in addiction treatment are also receiving appropriate care for their physical and mental health. These partnerships enhance comprehensive, whole-person care for patients in recovery.
